My Mum in the deckchair (now dead)

My Sister posing behind me (still alive)

Me with my bucket and spade and big head (I've grown into my head now so I am correctly proportioned [and alive])

.....and I used to be black & white but I've grown up to be in colour

He's a beautiful looking man. Someone I'd love to meet on a train and join for dinner in the dining car on a long ride across the country. Was he an artist or a writer? That's what I see in him. In the upper left of the picture, is that stained glass? Your mom too, looks like a beautiful being. Only sixty-two when she died. Too young, far too young.

Wonderful picture. You were perfectly gorgeous - and your head was not too big! What beach were you on?

Your father looks like a very dignified gentleman. From the picture I saw elsewhere, you bear a strong resemblance to your father.

He's a rather rude and abusive alcoholic. He can be charming, and you could indeed enjoy his company for short periods of time. He always liked my friends and brothers better than he liked me. I was not the kind of son he wanted. He wanted somebody who was more of a regular guy. He was a civil engineer. He wrote lots of technical reports. He was great at pourin' concrete, but his people skills sucked. Except for a brief telephone conversation when my mother died, I haven't spoken to him in about 20 years.

I think it says some very good things about you and what you see in people.

Thanksgiving in Lancaster County, PA
Not all of us, but most of us. Husband, children, and grandchildren. Is there anyone there who stands out as particularly Aspie?
